What is medication-assisted weight loss?
Medical weight loss with the iClinic Atlanta team includes a medically supervised weight loss program in which providers offer phentermine, semaglutide and other medications, along with diet and exercise recommendations, to help control your appetite. This type of weight loss plan improves your chances of achieving your goal weight with ease.
What are the benefits of weight loss?
If you’re overweight, some of the many benefits you can experience with medication-assisted weight loss at iClinic Atlanta include:
- More energy
- A reduced appetite with phentermine
- A lower risk of disease
- Increased self-confidence
- A better overall quality of life
Your odds of effectively reaching your goal weight are higher with medical weight loss, as it’s easier than trying to lose weight on your own.
What should I expect during weight loss appointments?
During medical weight loss with iClinic Atlanta, you’re greeted by welcoming staff. They weigh you, check your vital signs, and review your medical history. Your provider also completes a physical examination and might recommend you undergo blood tests to check for nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalance, high cholesterol, and more.
Your weight loss provider develops a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs, which often includes:
- Custom meal and menu plans
- Exercise recommendations
- Nutrition and health education
- Chronic disease management when necessary
- Phentermine prescriptions for appetite control
When your appetite decreases, it’s much easier to eat fewer calories to achieve and maintain your goal weight. iClinic Atlanta providers can adjust medication doses and your treatment plan as needed to give you the best outcome.
How much weight can I lose?
